RAZOR.

Application filed April 20, 1923. Serial No. 633,495.

of California, have invented new and useful W has for its object to simplify,

to the handle of the device, the said guard handle.

Tmprovements in Razors. of which the following 1s a specification.

This invention has reference to a razor of that class known asa safety razor, and cheapen and improve the existing art by producing an article of this character 1n which a flat round blade 18 employed and winch 1S supported ad acent to a thin guard attached being round in plan and extended beyond the edge of the blade whereby the entire edge of the blade may be employed and the shaver protected by the guard from outting himself.

With these andother objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of a razor in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1. j

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4 is a plan view looking toward the blade.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the blade.

The handle portion 1 of the improvement The blade is indicated by the numeral 5 and is in the nature of a flat disk whose edge is, of course, sharpened. The blade has a squared opening 6 therethrough for the reception of the squared shank 7 that has one of its ends headed, as at 8 and its opposite end rounded and threaded, as at 9. The head 8 is designed to contact with the outer face of the blade 5 and the reduced headed end 9 of the shank is engaged by a nut 10 which contacts with the outer end of the handle 1. By this arrangement it will be noted that the blade is effectively held against movement on the The guard 3 is of agreater cross sectional diameter than that of the blade 5, and consequently the said guard has its edge projected a suitable distance beyond the cutting edge of the blade. The blade is spaced from the guard by the handle eX- tension 4 so that ample cutting space is provided between the guard and blade. Lather will seep between the blade and guard, passing through the spaces between the spokes 2, and it is thought that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawing will fully set forth the construction and advantages of my improvement. l-Iaving described claims:

In a safety razor, a handle having spokes radiating from a point close to one of the ends thereof, a ring to which the spokes are connected, said handle having a squared bore, a disc blade resting on the end of the handle adjacent to the ring and being of a less cross sectional diameter than that of the ring, said blade having a centrally squared opening, a headed member having a squared shank passing through the bore the I invention,

of the handle and terminating with a threaded extension and a nut screwed on said extension to contact with the handle,

for moving the shank longitudinally through the handle to cause the head thereof to bind against the blade.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. BARNEY A. COOKE.
